I have some more information.

In an OS/2 window, when I get the
current input mode, it is already
set to binary!

However, I can't just leave it at
that.

I need to actually set it to binary
myself, otherwise it will give me the
old 22 error about being presentation
manager.

I'm thinking I will just make it work
in fullscreen. That should be good
enough for my purposes (running Win32
software under PDOS-generic).

BFN. Paul.

I couldn't find anything further on a
web search, but using google groups
instead of google search provided some
things.

I suspect that I need to make this Win* call:

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.os2.programmer.misc/c/490M96gC9-8/m/5CEDiLJGC_0J

Using DosDevIOCtl functions is not sufficient if you use PM: you also
need to call WinSetKeyboardStateTable.

BYTE KeyState[257];

c = DosDevIOCtl(hf,
IOCTL_KEYBOARD,
KBD_GETSHIFTSTATE,

WinSetKeyboardStateTable(HWND_DESKTOP, KeyState, FALSE);

KeyState[VK_NUMLOCK] |= 0x01;
ss.fsState |= NUMLOCK_ON;

/* seting keyboard state */
WinSetKeyboardStateTable(HWND_DESKTOP, KeyState, TRUE);

rc = DosDevIOCtl(hf,
IOCTL_KEYBOARD,
KBD_SETSHIFTSTATE,

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.os2.programmer.misc/c/xb-rPCvqxfk/m/cojpJL1mEioJ

I would never have guessed that WinSetKeyboardStateTable
was needed for a VIO application. Chalk up one more thing I've
learnt today.

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.os2.programmer.misc/c/DNnUOfAbwG0/m/UQx_EiwbsSoJ

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.os2.programmer.misc/c/mihdZdxf4as/m/FVjpLDtPaXQJ

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.os2.programmer.misc/c/g59l-qRRrUM/m/COOAM9dtnjIJ

(and more)

I assume something similar is required for my VIO
app, but I'm changing mode rather than the keyboard
state.

Regardless - I'm reluctant to do a Win* call.

I would like this app to only be dependent on
32-bit functions in doscalls.dll.

So I'll just mark it as fullscreen for now.

BTW, I was going to post on os2world.com, but
it didn't recognize my userid and the captcha
did an infinite spin (as google groups does
when I try to post too), so I'm glad to have
a newreader to access a globally-owned service.

BTW, it looks like that "movement" already
existed, and died in the late 90s. So 20+
years later I'm just trying to do a revival!

Oh - also, the original comment about DosRead
not giving cursor keys appears to be correct
too - you use DosDevIOCtl to do the read.
That's different from both MSDOS and Unix - I
think for different reasons.

BFN. Paul.
